VP Marco Rubio?: The man in demand

[Lazie]

Miami (CNN) -- Will he or won't he? And would it matter?
Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio, considered a powerful Hispanic political player and rising star in his party, has consistently said no to having vice presidential aspirations. But still, the question keeps coming up.
Rubio, the popular Miami-born son of Cuban immigrants, has been seen by some inside Republican circles as a great "get" as a possible No. 2 on a hypothetical presidential ticket, and is already showing his power to influence the process.
Just this week he pushed back on former House Speaker Newt Gingrich after the Republican presidential candidate ran a Spanish language radio ad labeling former Gov. Mitt Romney as "the most anti-immigration candidate." Rubio called the commercial "inaccurate" and "inflammatory" and the Gingrich campaign pulled the ad.
Gingrich press secretary R.C. Hammond said the ad was taken down as part of a scheduled "rotation time for the ads," not as a result of complaints from Rubio.

Adding him to the ticket would certainly have an impact on the Hispanic vote. Much like black people supporting Obama due to racial solidarity, the same would occur for Rubio.

it would have an impact yes... not sure if it would be similar to the black people supporting obama... the difference is that black people were democrat supporters before obama, so it was easy to get blacks motivated to vote for democrat...

rubio still represents that which is counter to the interest of hispanics... you can fool nuff people sometimes but you cannot fool all the people most times... should romney win (i'm thinking he will) and add rubio, i dont think it will help the republican to win the election...

over a year ago, i told you that obama cannot lose the election, even if the unemployment number is high, as it still is... the alternative to the democrats is worse and the people know that...

I agree with you that it would not have the same impact as black people supporting obama. My comment was a simplistic statement, just a try fi be comical!

over a year ago, i told you that obama cannot lose the election, even if the unemployment number is high, as it still is... the alternative to the democrats is worse and the people know that...

If Romney wins the nomination it will be a close election, if Gingrich wins a second term is guaranteed. Boss, a lot of people are not as rational as you and me, we will see.
